The listing, SUPER Bead Lot in Case * Pearl Teardrops * Red & Purple Faceted * Green Matte and MORE has ended.
A TON of teardrop pearls, about 10mm long (string the long way), at least 30 yummy cherry red faceted beads in three sizes (4-6-8 mm I think) more than a dozen very dark red beads (big ones, 8 mm) and these really nice 6mm round matte green beads ... oh, and I almost forgot the six LONG faceted purple beads. Plus seven black faceted cabs (no holes, you glue them onto something). And they all come in this 1960s-1970s era yellowed little acrylic box.
The pearls have gold findings in them, making them dangles, but you can take those out easily and they are a really pretty color and in perfect condition (no scratches). These beads all appear to be plastic, but the long purple ones might be glass. They look really good and I haven't cleaned them ... they might really sparkle with a soak in some hot water with window cleaner.
I won this at an auction last week-- a big flat full of really old beads, findings and jewelry and this little case is just adorable. I'll pack some peanuts inside the sections so the beads won't fly around in shipping, but you get the case too!
Free US and Canada shipping too!
I generally list a few items each night ... check out my FRESH listings at http://www.listia.com/profile/auctions/28303!
Check this out: http://www.donorschoose.org -- lets you donate to classrooms across the country. Your gifts are tax deductible and they send the information in Jan for your taxes (i.e. you don't have to keep track yourself).
Teachers request funding for specific supplies for their classrooms -- lets teachers help needy students or create a neat project and get funding for the supplies.
If YOU are a teacher, it would let you make donations to your own project and at least get a tax credit ... since so many teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies anyway!
